While this is completely anecdotal, the man manning the Google TV booth at the Intel Developer Forum is telling passersby that Google TV will launch in the October-November timeframe.
Although this timeframe is still a bit vague, it’s a bit more specific than the “fall” timeframe that Google and its partners originally gave at the launch. And it’s consistent with the Oct. 14 ship date that Engadget has listed for Google TV, but not with the “September” launch date that Intel chief executive Paul Otellini slipped into a Wall Street Journal article.
Unfortunately, that date was slipped to a passersby while I was waiting to ask a similar question. When I asked about Otellini’s quote and the “fall” timeframe, the poor lad backpedaled and went back to the “fall” positioning.
In any event, I’d expect a more formal launch in the fall. If Google holds an event in early October (or even later this month) it’s a pretty sure bet that it will involve Google TV.
